Immortality and cultivation begin with alchemy and accounting.

The Fire Dragon Sable clung to Bai Qingshan's arm and clucked affectionately.

At the same time, it also glanced at Bai Xuanjing, a sharp, knife-like glint flashing in its dark eyes.

Bai Xuanjing immediately felt a cold sweat break out.

This is a natural fear of ferocious beasts stronger than oneself.

"This is my grandson, don't you dare do anything reckless."

Bai Qingshan smiled and patted the Fire Dragon Sable's forehead, speaking in a kind voice as if he were looking at a junior.

Fire Dragon Sable: "Hiss~"

It seemed to understand Bai Qingshan's simple intentions, and when it looked at Bai Xuanjing again, the coldness in its eyes disappeared.

"See those fireflies? Kill them all and bring their bodies here to make you some wine." Bai Qingshan pointed to the molten lava underground.

The Fire Dragon Sable looked in the direction he was pointing.

I don't know if it can understand Bai Qingshan's words.

But upon seeing the swarm of fireflies, it immediately let out two joyful cries.

Bai Qingshan made a hand seal, which landed on the Fire Dragon Sable's forehead, transforming into a rune that merged into the Fire Dragon Sable's body.

The Fire Dragon Sable leaped up and jumped into the molten lava underground.

Bai Xuanjing stared intently at the Fire Dragon Sable's movements, noticing that the moment the demon came into contact with the molten lava river, its fur seemed to dance according to some kind of rule, emitting a faint crimson glow, which helped to protect it from the molten lava's erosion.

This must be the Fire Dragon Sable's innate ability.

After the Fire Dragon Sable entered the underground magma, the Wildfire Beetle seemed to sense the threat, and a series of buzzing sounds immediately came from it.

Interspersed with the cries of fire dragon minks and the roar of molten lava colliding, it resembled a chaotic symphony.

Bai Qingshan stroked his beard and said, "I estimate that you have at least seven or eight hundred fireflies here. It will probably take four or five days for the Fire Dragon Sable to clear them out."

"I'll stay here with you for the time being."

Bai Xuanjing, with her keen insight, said, "I'll make a bed for you right away, Grandpa Qingshan."

Bai Qingshan nodded.

……

After Bai Qingshan arrived, Bai Xuanjing stopped refining pills.

Although the rewards for alchemy are given in the sea of ​​consciousness and cannot be perceived by outsiders, Bai Xuanjing still felt a little strange about using her cheat ability under other people's noses.

Aside from cultivating and resting, he spent his time reading alchemical texts and chatting with Bai Qingshan.

Upon learning that Bai Xuanjing was learning the first-tier, mid-grade Azure Water Pill, Bai Qingshan even adopted an elder's demeanor and offered some encouragement.

Industry specializing in surgery.

You can learn a lot about monsters by talking to a senior beast-taming cultivator.

Even if I don't become a beast tamer in the future, it's still a good thing to learn more about monsters in this sea teeming with them.

Bai Xuanjing naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

During their casual conversation, Bai Xuanjing's understanding of demonic beasts was enriched.

"My trip here isn't some secret mission. I've brought a few soldiers to the outer sea to hunt some low-level monsters for the family."

"The Ding Twelfth Fire Vein is a family secret, and it's not convenient for me to tell them about it, so I told them to wait for me at the nearby Jing'an Market."

Bai Qingshan is quite the chatterbox.

To thank Bai Qingshan for his help in exterminating the demon, Bai Xuanjing specially took out the flesh and blood of the black-skinned ox beast that Bai Jingming had given her and made some dishes to entertain Bai Qingshan.

Bai Qingshan was neither aloof nor stingy; he took out some valuable spirit wine and invited Bai Xuanjing to drink with him.

After a few cups of spirit wine, Bai Qingshan opened his heart and began to talk freely.

Bai Xuanjing was also aware of the Jing'an Market mentioned in Bai Qingshan's words.

Jing'an Market is more than 3,000 li away from Qiufeng Island. It is the closest large market to Qiufeng Island and has dedicated cargo ships. After a few transfers, you can go directly to the inner sea.

Many cultivators who come to the outer sea choose to return to the inner sea by spirit ship.

The Bai family cultivators were no exception.

After all, it is far too dangerous to travel alone in the open sea.

The vast sea is mostly buried those who boast of their superior skills and daring.

Moreover, the spirit ship is faster, which can save a lot of time.

"Speaking of which, among the juniors I brought, there is one you should know, Xuan Le. He was in the same year as you and studied in the Alchemy Hall for a period of time."

"This is the descendant of my younger brother. My brother passed away early, and among his descendants, only Xuanle is a cultivator. I want to find him a respectable job."

It's a pity his talent for cultivation is only average. I had someone send him to the alchemy hall for a period of time, all through your second uncle Jingming's connections.

"But his talent for alchemy was average. He couldn't grasp the essentials and in the end, he didn't become an alchemist. He had no choice but to join the clan guard hall and become a cultivator who fought and killed."

"However, I kept him by my side and took him on missions with me."

Looking at the young Bai Xuanjing, Bai Qingshan felt a pang of emotion.

Bai Qingshan sighed when Bai Xuanle was mentioned.

Bai Xuanjing was not familiar with Bai Qingshan, but Bai Qingshan knew a bit about Bai Xuanjing.

After all, he and Bai Jingming had some connection.

Bai Xuanjing and Bai Xuangu, the two brothers, one is a leading figure of the younger generation in the Clan Guard Hall, and the other is a carefree alchemist.

This kind of junior configuration is something many cultivators dream of having.

But in reality, even among cultivators, many of their descendants lack spiritual roots.

Even if one is lucky enough to have a spiritual root, their natural talent may not necessarily be that high.

The Bai family is very large, with more than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The Lianqi clan has a large number of members, with six or seven hundred of them being of the Xuan generation alone. In addition, each of them has their own duties, and many of them do not know each other.

But when Bai Qingshan mentioned Bai Xuanle, Bai Xuanjing actually pictured a chubby cultivator in his mind.

As Bai Qingshan said, Bai Xuanle and Bai Xuanjing were in the same class when they entered the Alchemy Hall.

The Bai family has six branches, each with its own lineage. Generally speaking, they prioritize learning the traditions of their own branch.

However, if one wishes to learn Taoist arts from other branches, there is no strict prohibition against it; with a little practice, one can still switch to another branch.

Therefore, Bai Xuanle, despite being born into the fifth branch of the family, was able to cultivate the art of alchemy.

Bai Xuanjing understood, and only then did she realize that her second uncle and Bai Qingshan had this connection.

No wonder Bai Qingshan arrived as soon as Bai Jingming sent a telepathic message via paper crane.

Ultimately, it all comes down to interpersonal relationships and social dynamics.

Bai Xuanle only briefly mentioned the topic at the dinner table before the two quickly moved on to talking about demonic beasts.

Bai Xuanjing, looking diligent and eager to learn, asked, "I heard from my second uncle that he saw a herd of migrating black-skinned oxen on his way here. Grandpa Qingshan, what do you think about this?"

Compared to other things, Bai Xuanjing was more worried about her own situation.

Thinking of the black-skinned bull beast that Bai Jingming had mentioned a few days ago, he immediately decided to ask the beast master in front of him for advice.

After all, the Black-skinned Bull Beast's migration distance is only a thousand miles from Autumn Maple Island.

If the migration of the Black-skinned Bull Beast is due to the unusual activity of sea monsters, it still poses some threat to Bai Xuanjing.
